  • Bears' Ryan Bates: Feeling good again

    General manager Ryan Poles said Tuesday that Bates (concussion) is feeling back to himself, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Bates missed Chicago's last seven games of the campaign because of a concussion he suffered in Week 11 versus the Packers, but it appears he should be ready for team activities come the offseason. He'll compete for a starting job on the interior of the Bears' offensive line in 2025.

  • Bears' Ryan Bates: Placed on IR

    The Bears placed Bates (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Bates had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, and now this move knocks him out for the remainder of the regular season. Acquired from the Bills for a fifth-round pick in March, Bates ended up appearing in three games for Chicago this season, spending Weeks 2-9 on injured reserve with shoulder and elbow issues and now missing the final seven games of the year with a concussion. Bates is signed through 2025 and is due a $3.4 million salary next season. He won't be a lock to make the team at that number coming off an injury-ruined campaign.

  • Bears' Ryan Bates: Missing another game

    Bates (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's outing against the Lions.

    Bates will miss his fifth straight outing after going down with a concussion in Week 11 versus the Packers. Teven Jenkins should get the start at left guard yet again for the Bears.

  • Bears' Ryan Bates: Sidelined again Week 15

    Bates (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Minnesota.

    Bates will miss his fourth straight contest while attempting to move past a concussion he suffered Week 12 against Green Bay. Teven Jenkins will likely continue to start at left guard for Chicago.

  • Bears' Ryan Bates: Remaining sidelined for Week 14

    Bates (concussion) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against San Francisco.

    Bates was diagnosed with a concussion during the Bears' Week 11 loss to the Packers, and he will miss a third straight game as a result. The fact he hasn't returned to practice since the diagnosis indicates that Bates has not been able to progress through the league's five-step concussion protocols, which makes a return for Week 15 against the Vikings an uphill battle. Teven Jenkins will continue to start at left guard for the Bears in Bates' absence.
